Galacticode

Description

Galacticode puts your JavaScript skills to the test by helping a lost alien find its way home. Players practice against a space-themed backdrop, gaining points and progress by difficulty level for each correct answer and unlocking new planets and challenges.

The platform was developed using React and Redux, with Express, Sequelize, and PostgreSQL in the back end. We built a separate API using Docker to run the user submitted code against test specs written with the Mocha, Chai, and Sinon testing libraries. The 3D components were created in Three.js and rendered in conjunction with the React components. This approach immerses users in an interactive experience that rewards them for their successes along their coding journey.
